We all know the Lambo Gallardo is fast. With more than 540 hp and all-wheel-drive, the Italian supercar has no problem wiping a floor with just about any competitor. Somewhere along the line, tuners discovered fitting two turbos to the Lamborghini’s V10 makes them much faster. One of those tuners, Underground Racing, brought this Gallardo to a drag strip to battle it out against a world’s fastest drag-racing Z06. While a turbo Gallardo makes well over 1000 horsepower, the Z06 is no slouch either. It’s built by the Advanced Modern Performance, a shop in Dallas, Texas that specializes in making Corvettes go as fast as possible in the straight line. This Corvette, according to the video’s description, actually holds a world record for fastest Z06 quarter-mile, with the time of 9.3 seconds. While it seems neither of the drivers got the optimal start, the Gallardo launches drama-free thanks to its four-wheel traction, while the Vette Z06’s drag radials dig in immediately. Both vehicles set some impressive sub-10-second times, but the Lamborghini Gallardo manages to put up the mental 178 mph trap speed—in the quarter! Take the look as two purpose-built, street legal drag monsters claw it out on the strip.
